Cesar Millan has gotten a ton of publicity the past year or so, to the point that the inevitable backlash has ensued. I have seen statements from several professional dog trainers and authors who say he has set dog training back 20 years. They do not believe domesticated dog breeds are pack dogs by nature or that control (alpha male behavior by the owner / trainer) and intimidation is the way to train them. Beats me who's right, just passing along some things I have read.
